To be frank, I don't doubt it. Halo is special in the fact, that every game in the series is a masterpiece. ODST was an amazing game for 20 bucks.

Looking at the narrative trailers for H4, it looks astounding.

I agree on that Salandrin the Halo series is 1 of my favorite story lines and games to date but i also know the history of IGN and the fact nobody has gotten any good tries on Spartan Campaign yet. Beside those that have done the demo version of it on E3 or any other major game expo

many people will go for the "Paid for number" comment. I say this is too soon to give a score yet, I think halo 4 will get a good score. But IGN came way too soon with this one.

IGN is about the least credible site out there, and yes they seem to be quite happy to be payed for their reviews. Halo 4 might be an awesome game but what IGN says about that is worth about the same as the dirt stuck to my sneakers.

So many people saying Ign is paid for reviews, but does anyone actually have any credible evidence or is this just based on opinions and imagination?

Heres one reason besides it's just common sense it's a buyers market for game companies giving exclusives previews and shit to sites. You don't get special characters in games like ME3 for long if you start biting the hand feeding you.

I hear bad bad things about the ending being a quick time event, which would utterly piss me right the fudge off.

Also, I wish the rating system was actually used like it is supposed to. It used to be where games with a 6-7+ were awesome and a 8-9 was rare. Now everything that isn't 9+ is considered crap by alot of people and 10's are given out way to often.

If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength

Well they've had Halo 4 ads running on their site for a long time, of course they won't give it a bad score. Same thing with every other game advertisement on a review site.

Not any different then Blizzard paying PC/MMO-Gaming Sites to give there games higher scores as well. But then again I will probably get bashed as Blizzard is an angle and would never do anything like that right?

Last I checked, no one in their right mind trusts or even cares what IGN has to say about a game.

My opinion is that I don't care what IGN gives the game, it could give it a -10 for all I care, I will be getting Halo 4 and I will enjoy the crap out of it, even if I was not a Halo fan or this was a game I do not like I could care less what IGN has to say about it.

'Your opinion is different than mine. Allow me to mock you without even bothering to support my own.'

One could say you just did the same thing :O

If you enjoy the game, cool, just don't try to shove that down everyone's throat and I won't try to rip you a new sphincter.

I'd much rather go watch a video of someone doing a walkthrough, those normally aren't full of pants-on-headness that usually end up in video reviews.

How they stated it is irrelevant. The bolded part that krethos referenced was specifically about Halo being a series filled with masterpieces - something he clearly disagreed with. He proceeded to mock them for holding them with such regard.

I scolded someone for scolding someone for having a different opinion? And now you're scolding me for scolding someone for scolding someone for having a different opinion? Well, we should probably stop before we create an infinite loop.

Also, I think we have very different ideas of what it means to shove something down someone's throat.
